Message-ID: <f7ae0730b4703923cb61b995ca5e0b0c@collyer.net> (raw)

Actually Jim Robinson's suggestion doesn't meet my needs (or desires,
anyway). Magnetic media don't provide the permanence of optical
media. Mirrors aren't a substitute for backups.
I've personally had enough of magnetic tape for one lifetime. Mag
tapes aren't archival storage and are somewhat dubious as backups.
Plus mag tape gets you back into the business of manual backups and
restores. I don't think anybody is going to want to dump 13 TB, which
will take quite a while and use a lot of tapes, so it probably won't
get done often enough. If there is ever a need to restore from all
those tapes, it's likely to take even longer than the dumps took.
To top it off, the ATABeast new, at $40k, is two orders of magnitude
more than I've paid for my optical jukeboxes.
I'm waiting to see if holographic storage appears next year, as
promised.
